    <h2>About the Python Documentation</h2>

    <p>The Python documentation was originally written by Guido van
      Rossum, but has increasingly become a community effort over the
      past several years.  This growing collection of documents is
      available in several formats, including typeset versions in PDF
      and PostScript for printing, from the <a
        href="http://www.python.org/">Python Web site</a>.

    <p>A <a href="acks.html">list of contributors</a> is available.

    <h2>Comments and Questions</h2>
